NHL Rumors VII: Kiprusoff, Yandle, Miller, Vanek, Smith, Nabokov, Bruins, Bishop, Stafford, Pominville, Luongo and Ducks
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on April 3rd, 2013
- Bob McKenzie: As per Dreger, Miikka Kiprusoff struggling with moving and expects to remain with the Flames and may retire at the end of the year.
- Nick Kypreos: The Coyotes are asking for significant pieces back for Keith Yandle if they were to move him. David Pagnotta: If the Flyers want Yandle, it would cost them Sean Couturier plus more. The Red Wings and Blackhawks have shown interest in Yandle. Sam Carchidi: Yandle has 3 years and a $5.25 million cap hit. Flyers could fit him in by moving players to LTIR. Elliotte Friedman: Price is two impact forwards. One who could be a No. 1 center. Won’t be traded unless get a deal they can’t refuse.
- David Pagnotta: “Would the Sabres trade Ryan Miller? Yes. Would they move Thomas Vanek? Yes. Are deals likely to go down today? No… unless someone steps up”
- John Vogl: Source on Thomas Vanek: ”I would be very surprised if he gets traded.”
- Pierre LeBrun: Coyotes unlikely to trade Mike Smith. They still want to re-sign him, today or at a later date.
- Arthur Staple: Source saying the Islanders are after Blackhawks Brandon Saad. Cost would be high. Craig Custance: Has been told that the Blackhawks wouldn’t consider trading Saad.
- Terry Jones: Jones disagrees that the Oilers won’t do anything.
- Arthur Staple: The Islanders and Evgeni Nabokov continue contract talks, but nothing is imminent. They won’t move him.
- Renaud Lavoie: Will be interesting to see what the Bruins do if Patrice Bergeron is injured.
- Bruce Garrioch: 6 teams that are interested in Ben Bishop: Oilers, Flyers, Flames, Coyotes, Lightning and Hurricanes. Bob McKenzie: The Coyotes are one of five teams interested in Bishop. Greater than 50% chance that he traded today.
- Bruce Garrioch: 3 or 4 teams are interested in Sabres Drew Stafford.
- David Pagnotta: The Wild, Blue Jackets, Kings and Red Wings are among the teams interested in Sabres Jason Pominville. The Blue Jackets are the only team of the four that would trade a 1st. (Blue Jackets have Kings 1st and would move it)
- Pierre LeBrun: If Sharks do anything, could add veteran depth.
- Arash Madani: Leafs GM Dave Nonis on adding a goaltender: ”At this point we’re not any closer to a trade in that area than we were a day ago.” … ”We’re not selling. That’s our position right now.”
- L.A. Lariviere: Roberto Luongo hasn’t submitted a list of teams.
- Eric Stephens: Ducks are working trades, but won’t overpay. Unlikely to move their 1st or 2nd for a center/forward.
The Sharks trade Ryane Clowe to the NY Rangers
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Trades on April 2nd, 2013
The San Jose Sharks have traded winger Ryane Clowe to New York Rangers for a 2013 2nd round pick, Florida’s 2013 3rd round pick that was previously acquired and a conditional 2014 second round pick.
If the Rangers re-sign Clowe or if they win two playoff rounds, the pick remains a second. If they don’t re-sign him or they don’t win two rounds, the pick becomes a 2014 fifth rounder.
“We are extremely pleased to be able to acquire Ryane,” said Rangers general manager Glen Sather. “He is a unique combination of size, skill and toughness. His strong leadership and character make him a tremendous addition to our organization on and off the ice.”
Clowe agreed to waive his no-trade clause to go to the Rangers.
“Ryane is a tremendously respected player and teammate, and an individual of outstanding character,” Sharks vice president and general manager Doug Wilson said. “These deals involving players who have spent a substantial amount of time in and contributed much to San Jose are difficult but it’s also important for us to get value for a player who is set to be an unrestricted free agent. We want to wish Ryane and his family the best in the future and thank them for everything they have done for the Sharks organization and the San Jose community.”
Clowe was drafted by the Sharks, 175th overall in the 6th round of the 2001 draft. He carries a $3.625 million cap hit.
Quick Hits: Clowe, Wild, Sabres, Flames, Leafs, Streit and Santorelli
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on April 2nd, 2013
From twitter unless otherwise noted
- David Pagnotta: Sharks have granted a few teams, including the Wild and Flyers, permission to speak with Ryane Clowe’s agent.
- The Fourth Period: The Wild are looking for a 2nd line winger. One of GM Fletcher’s targets is Clowe.
“If I go somewhere, I’m not going to sign unless I see potential, but it’s definitely something I’d be open to,” Clowe told the San Jose Mercury News. “On the other hand, if it had to come down somewhere as a rental it would probably be to a team that’s a top team looking at making a run. We’ll see.”
If the Wild don’t land Clowe, they could turn to Sabres Jason Pominville or Drew Stafford, Flames Lee Stempniak, Curtis Glencross or Alex Tanguay.
- Darren Dreger: Maple Leafs GM Dave Nonis spoke with Kiprusoff’s agent yesterday, and it’s likely that he’ll speak directly with Kiprusoff today.
- Mark Masters: Leafs James Reimer on trade talk: ‘Reimer on deadline buzz: ‘Honestly, it is a distraction … it’s a huge distraction. To not be playing [until Thurs] is almost a benefit’
- Mark Lazerus: A Blackhawks trade target Arthur Staple: Islanders and Mark Streit are unable to agree on a contract extension but it’s unlikely that he’s traded.
- George Richards: The Panthers put pending UFA Mike Santorelli on waivers.
NHL Rumors II: Blackhawks, Blues, Canucks, Maple Leafs, Predators, Rangers and Jets
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on April 2nd, 2013
From twitter unless otherwise noted
- Tracey Bowman: Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman said that it’s unlikely that he’d move any of his roster: ”This group has earned the right to see what we can do as a group.” … ”The focus is to keep this group together and add to it.”
- Mark Spector: Blues David Perron (3 years at $3.8 million left) is Spector’s vote for who is most likely to be dealt next by the Blues.
- Andy Strickland: The Blues now have nine defenseman and 24 roster players, will need to make a move. Immigration will take a couple days, so a move won’t have to made right away. May not be a trade, as they could send Ian Cole to the AHL.
- Pass it to Bulis: Canucks GM Mike Gillis said they need a ”versatile forward” who can play center, wing, kill penalties and play on the power-play.
- Josh Rimer: (before the Kiprusoff talk picked up) Rimer is hearing that there is good chance that Roberto Luongo could end with the Maple Leafs.
- Farhan Lalji: Canucks GM Mike Gillis said that ”it might not be the right time” to trade Luongo and suggested that it might be easier to trade him in the summer. Gillis added, “we’re talking to 4 teams with varying levels of activity and various proposals”
- Gary Lawless: The Jets were in the hunt for center Michal Handzus but not able to land him.
- Jim Diamond: Diamond expects a quiet trade deadline for the Predators. The players they would move don’t have much market value.
- Larry Brooks of the NY Post: It’s unlikely that Rangers GM Glen Sather will take a run at any of the bigger names available on the trade market. They aren’t good enough to deal young assets or draft picks for veteran help. It’s doubtful they would get into a bidding war for Ryane Clowe or able/willing to put together a package for Dan Boyle. A Boyle deal might make sense if Marian Gaborik was going the other way. Sources are saying there is lots of interest in center Brian Boyle. Sather will look to improve their blueline.
- Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun: The Jets could be both buyers and sellers at the trade deadline.
You can be both, I think. It just depends on what you’re looking for,” said Cheveldayoff. “If you’re just buying rentals, it’s one thing. If you’re looking for things with term, it’s another.
“We’re going into a unique situation here too, with the salary cap moving down. You have to be open for anything, at this point and time. There are lots of different options out there. It’s one of those things where if any action is going to happen, it’s probably going to happen late.”
The Jets could be looking for top-six right winger, but GM Cheveldayoff isn’t limiting this search to that one area. They have some extra draft picks and the cap room.
NHL Rumors I: Courturier, Clowe looking for 7-8 years, Boyle and the Stars
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on April 2nd, 2013
From twitter unless otherwise noted
- David Pagnotta: The Flyers are not actively shopping Sean Couturier, but if they are able to land a top-two defenseman or a top-line scorer, they could move him.
- L.A. Lariviere: Ryane Clowe’s agent wouldn’t say if the Canadiens are among the front-runners, ”I’ll let Marc Bergevin comment on their involvement.” The Canadiens were still in on Clowe (as of late last night). Clowe’s agent said it could go down to the trade deadline day with the other bidders.
- David Pagnotta: RDS is reporting that Clowe wants a 7 or 8 year contract extension. Adrian Dater: “If Ryane Clowe gets a 7-year contract extension, which GM agrees to that, please hand in your playbook now.”
- Andy Strickland: Teams that have shown some interest in Clowe: Bruins, Flyers, Canadiens, Blackhawks, Wild and Canucks.
- David Pollak: With the Sharks looking to trade Clowe, it’s good sign that they like James Sheppard on the 3rd line.
- Bruce Garrioch: The Sharks are still trying to move Dan Boyle.
- Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News: Stars GM Joe Nieuwendyk:
On if there’s any news on potential extensions on Jaromir Jagr, Eric Nystrom or Derek Roy
“I don’t really have any update on that. No.”
On if that would affect how they might deal with things in the next two days
“I think so. I think it’s all part of it. Have to see where we’re at. Listening to calls.”
On how hard it is to balance things
“I think so [it’s hard to balance what is being offered and the like]. I think that’s accurate. So we’ll just have to wait and see. We’ve got 48 hours here.”
Quick Hits: Scouting the Stars-Ducks, Iginla, Kesler, Bolland and Penner
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL Injuries, NHL News on April 2nd, 2013
From twitter unless otherwise noted
- Mike Heika: Scouting the Stars-Ducks game: the Sharks, Maple Leafs and Blue Jackets.
- Renaud Lavoie: Jarome Iginla hopes to sign an extension with the Penguin. If that is not possible, the Kings are a strong option.
- Ben Kuzma: A scan of Canucks Ryan Kesler’s fractured foot revealed that it’s healing. There is hope that he’s able to get back skating next week.
- Chicago Blackhawks: Blackhawks Dave Bolland is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
- Lisa Dillman: The Kings put Dustin Penner on the IR with a lower-body injury, retroactive to March 31st.
The Blackhawks acquire Michal Handzus from the Sharks
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Trades on April 1st, 2013
The San Jose Sharks have traded center Michal Handzus to the Chicago Blackhawks for a 2013 4th round draft pick according to Bob McKenzie. The 4th round pick originally belonged to the Sharks according to Kevin Kurz.
This will be Handzus’ second tour with the Blackhawks, having played with them in 2006-07. He only played in 8 games.
Handzus was drafted by the St. Louis Blues in the 4th round, 101st overall in the 1995 draft. The 36-year old carries a $2.5 million salary cap hit this season. He’ll be a UFA at the end of the year.
NHL Rumors V: Flyers, Jagr, Clowe, Bouwmeester, Jokinen, Blue Jackets, Wisniewski, Ribeiro and Oilers
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on April 1st, 2013
From twitter unless otherwise noted
- Sam Carchidi: The Flyers have had exploratory talks for Jaromir Jagr, Ryane Clowe and Jay Bouwmeester.
- Josh Rimer: Adds that the Flyers are talking with the Hurricanes about Jussi Jokinen.
- Darren Dreger: The Blue Jackets will be a buyer at the trade deadline and would be willing to move one of their three first round picks. (Kings and Rangers)
- Aaron Portzline: The Blue Jackets have depth down the middle and on the blueline. They could use one of those plus a first to acquire a scoring winger.
- Aaron Portline: Blue Jackets Adrian Aucoin could get them a late-round pick from a team looking for depth. The Blue Jackets may want to keep him for his leadership.
- Aaron Portzline: The Canadiens had interested in Blue Jackets defenseman David Savard. John Moore has also been a healthy scratch.
- Aaron Portzline: The Blue Jackets would trade James Wisniewski, but it’s hard to imagine anyone taking on his contract with all him injuries.
- Pierre LeBrun: Mike Ribeiro’s agent spoke with the Capitals on Friday and will talk again today or tomorrow.
- Darren Dreger: The Oilers are considering keeping Ryan Whitney for their playoff push and signing Nikolai Khabibulin for another season.
NHL Rumors III: Ryane Clowe rumors update
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on April 1st, 2013
From twitter unless otherwise noted
4:45 PM
- Sarah Baicker: Sources say that a Clowe trade to the Flyers won’t happen if the Sharks insist on Sean Couturier.
- David Pollak: Clowe said he’s open to either a trade-and-sign or as a rental. Depends on where he’s trade to, and what is offered.
- David Pollak of the San Jose Mercury News: GM Doug Wilson is considering offers from almost a dozen teams.
“I’m aware of what’s going on and anything happening with me has to go through me, so we’ll see,” Clowe said, declining to say whether he thought a deal would happen or not. “I don’t want to give a percentage or anything. Would I be surprised? Probably not. I wouldn’t be shocked.
“If something didn’t happen and I stayed here, I’d handle it just like I handled the last three games,” he said. “I’d play my ass off just like I have.”
“If I go somewhere, I’m not going to sign unless I see potential, but it’s definitely something I’d be open to,” Clowe said. “On the other hand, if it had to come down somewhere as a rental it wold probably be to a team that’s a top team looking at making a run. We’ll see.”
12:37 PM
- Kevin Kurz: A Ryane Clowe trade is likely to happen today.
- David Pagnotta via twitter: Good chance Clowe is moved today. A deal is close, but not a guarantee.
- Bob McKenzie: McKenzie thinks the leading contenders are the Flyers or Wild. Rangers, Canucks and Canadiens in the mix. 50-50 it happens today. Rangers may only be intersted in Clowe as a rental. Flyers, Wild and Canucks are capable of giving Clowe an extension. The Sharks and Wild have dealt in the past.
10:46 AM
- Pierre LeBrun: A Ryane Clowe trade could go down today. Teams that may have at least talked to the Sharks: Flyers, Wild, Canucks, Canadiens, Rangers and Bruins, possibly more.
- Bruce Garrioch: Confirms a St. John’s report that the Flyers have made a offer for Clowe, and have had talks with his agent.
- Sam Carchidi: The Flyers currently have $3.5 million in cap space and could add to that if they put Andrej Meszaros or Daniel Briere on the LTIR. They have lots of room to add a Jaromir Jagr or Clowe.
- David Pagnotta: Source saying report of Clowe going to Flyers is “premature.” Flyers are one of many teams in play.
- Renaud Lavoie: Lavoie has been told that the Bruins and Canadiens are not on the top of Clowe’s list.
- Sarah Baicker: Source saying that the Flyers and Sharks are talking a couple different scenarios. One of them involves Clowe but the cost is high.
- Bruce Garrioch: The asking price for Clowe is likely Sean Couturier.
Quick Hits: Scouting Flyers-Capitals, Zetterberg, Samuelsson, Crosby and Foligno
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Injuries, NHL News on April 1st, 2013
From twitter unless otherwise noted
- Dave Isaac: Scouting the Flyers-Capitals game: 2 Sharks (director of pro scouting) and the Stars.
- Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press: Red Wings Henrik Zetterberg missed yesterday’s game with a groin injury and he’s not expected to play tonight. He’s listed as day-to-day. Mikael Samuelsson is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
- Nick Kypreos: Penguins Sidney Crosby is out indefinitely after having surgery on his jaw.
- Shawn Mitchell: The Blue Jackets place Nick Foligno on the IR with an upper-body injury.
NHL Rumors II: Clowe close to being traded, Red Wings, Blackhawk-Isles talking trade and the Flyers
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Rumors on March 31st, 2013
From twitter unless otherwise noted
- Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area: The Sharks are getting closer to trading Ryane Clowe. Source is saying that the team has approached Clowe’s agent about the possibility of waiving his no-trade clause. A deal could happen as soon as today. The Bruins, Canadiens and Rangers appear to be the most likely destinations. ESPN reported that the Sharks would like to get a first round pick and a young asset. Clowe has missed four games recently with a shoulder injury, something that concerned the Bruins.
- David Pollak: The Bruins scouted the Sharks-Red Wings. The Canadiens didn’t scout the game, Canucks GM Mike Gillis was at the game. The Rangers weren’t on the scouting list either.
- Bruce Garrioch: There are five or six teams that are interested in Clowe. There are rumblings that he wants a sign and trade.
- Joe Haggerty: Can’t see the Bruins giving up a first round pick for a guy who looks to be broken down.
- Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press: The Red Wings don’t want to give up their first round pick this season.
“I’m OK where we’re at,” Holland said. “Especially considering 20% of (the) roster has been out. And I’m not doing any rentals for fifth or sixth defensemen, or fourth-line players. If we can get a real player, a top-six forward or a top-four defenseman, at a price we can live with, who wouldn’t do that? But I’m not doing any rentals.”
- The Fourth Period: Chicago Daily Herald reported that the Islanders and Blackhawks have discussed a multi-player trade involving Frans Nielsen. The Blackhawks had asked about Lubomir Visnovsky, but he signed an extension on Friday. The Blackhawks may now look to Mark Streit. The Islanders are rumored to be interested in defenseman Dylan Olsen and forward Jeremy Morin. The Blackhawks may also be interested in defenseman: Robyn Regehr, Ryan O’Bryne, Mark Fistric and Ryan Whitney, and forwards: Boyd Gordon, Derek Roy and Ryane Clowe.
- Dave Isaac of the Courier Post: The Flyers have been hit hard with injuries, and acquiring a rental wouldn’t make sense. Daniel Briereis out with a concussion, and would have been a trade chip.
“I don’t see him blowing things up,” NHL Network analyst Barry Melrose told the Courier-Post. “In a losing streak, you’re never as bad as you think you are. Same thing on a winning streak, you’re never as good as you think you are. I think Paul is a very deliberate general manager. I think he’ll evaluate everything.”
“You’ve got (Claude) Giroux, who’s had an OK year,” Melrose said. “(Wayne) Simmonds has had a pretty good year and (Jake) Voracek has had a pretty good year. Other than that, everyone’s had a disappointing offensive year.”
Briere and Ilya Bryzgalov are candidates to be bought out this summer.
NHL Rumors I: Crowded goalie market, Regehr, Blackhawks and Yandle, Bruins and Ducks
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL Free Agents, NHL News, NHL Rumors on March 30th, 2013
- Damien Cox: The simple facts are: the Leafs talked to the Canucks this week about Roberto Luongo, they have some interest, and the price has dropped. Darren Dreger: Sources say the Canucks called the Maple Leafs to revisit talks. The Flames hope to have a better gauge on Miikka Kiprusoff this weekend. Dreger thinks that although there is interest in goalie options for the Maple Leafs, they are likely to nothing. TSN Radio: Bob McKenzie thinks the Maple Leafs want to bring in a veteran goaltender.
- Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Province: If someone offers a draft pick and a low-end prospect, the Canucks wouldn’t take it. They still think they can get a player that can help them now, and a piece or two for the future. The goalie market is crowded. Mike Smith, Jimmy Howard and Niklas Backstrom could all be free agents. The trade market could include Ryan Miller, Jonathan Bernier, Jaroslav Halak and either Ben Bishop or Craig Anderson.
- Bruce Garrioch: The Sabres are listening to offers for defenseman Robyn Regehr, but they haven’t ruled out giving him a contract extension.
- The Fourth Period: The Blackhawks had sent multiple scouts to watch Keith Yandle this week. He has three years left at $5.25 million. It’s unclear how deep talks have been. The Red Wings, Oilers and Flyers also like Yandle. The Blackhawks could offer Niklas Hjalmarsson, a young NHL player or top prospect and a draft pick. The Blackhawks are also interested in Derek Roy.
- Kevin Paul Dupont: An agent on the possibility of trading Martin St. Louis,
“No way,’’ said the agent. “Yzerman’s got kids there who he wants to be around St. Louis. He’s not going anywhere.’’
The Bruins could look at Sharks Dan Boyle, if they want to make their blue line a priority.
- Eric Stephens of the OC Register: Ducks GM Bob Murray is keeping quiet on their needs. They’ve gotten by without a second line center so far this season. Mike Ribeiro could be a rental option if he doesn’t re-sign with the Capitals. Derek Roy and Derick Brassard are other options.
